Congratulations on your retirement Sumito. I can't believe its been 60 years already. And you look barely a day over 62! Have a great time going to Japan and using vending machines 24/7! 👍

[@kezreck_]

Glad you're sticking it out despite this kind of work being a grind. Just from my own view, I'm always glad whenever I see one of your videos in my subscription feed!

[@SumitoMedia]

it never feels like a grind when the numbers go up, it feels like a grind when numbers feel like you're running on a hamster wheel. healthy thing is to separate your satisfaction with making content from the numbers, but thats easier said than done.

I just want to take a moment to mention how much I appreciate your level-headed, objective takes on these sorta topics. Whenever something like this happens it seems everyone panics and starts theory-crafting conspiracies, so it's nice to see someone being honest and talking about things as they are while also keeping it funny, lighthearted, and personal.

[@panzerloli2719]

mean comment that will hit you way harder in 6years

[@iNZane_Mustang]

It is insane that your channel isnt bigger than it is. The production value is on par with these multi-million sub channels. Ive been subbed since you started showing your face through the whole vid (internet historian's first collab with you. I remember the vids when you just showed memes with voice overs. Lol!) Keep it up!

[@Eyclonus]

I always appreciate it when a youtuber is talking shop about the business of youtube. The whole thing about adjusting when the algorithm shifts without compromising on brand identity

[@Bildobearable]

Sorry to hear you're staying, Sumito

[@Saturnium_]

I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos, but I really do enjoy all of them. The formula you have - taking trending memes and being genuinely funny - is something you do really well (maybe even the best). I don't watch for the memes, I watch for you - and in a competitive environment like youtube, that's the best thing. Anyone can talk about memes and be funny, but nobody can be you. I watch a lot of youtube, and seeing you still be a small-ish creator while there are huge creators with no personality making the most mediocre and repetitive content is baffling. You have a great work ethic and upload schedule and I'm proud of how far you've come. I wish more people knew about you, because I really do think that you're one of the funniest youtubers on the website. Great video man, keep it up! ily

[@ERRandDEL]

I'm 31 and still have all of my teenage years ahead of me to say Gam*r, Sumito.

[@AL_Talks]

Just FYI Hayao Miyazaki is 83, I didn't realize that until a few weeks ago when The Boy and the Heron came out and someone said it was his last movie and I thought back to when I was in highschool and Spirited Away was his "last movie." Crazy, huh? I'd also guess he was late 60s

[@breadbox5751]

I appreciate the time you took to discuss this so thoroughly. I didn’t consider some of the factors you brought up. Happy Day.

[@PhotosaurusFlex]

I'm not a big commenter, but I do appreciate your content and I'm happy you're not retiring I was worried.

[@roddles8484]

Thanks!

[@thepanelbiter9915]

This is a little off the path, but I used to be a podcaster. Not successful in the slightest which is why I stopped, but I also stopped because it started to effect my friendships. Now I’m an author, a medium where I can be creative, have control over my product, and not hurt any friendships I have since it’s solely my activity. I can understand burnout, and I can understand quitting something for the good of your social life and social health.

[@asldfkhjaslk]

When I first subscribed, I was just curious to know one of the select few people who met Internet Historian in person. I gotta admit, over time I have found myself finding a meme/meme format and then waiting to find your video on my feed. You're like an actually entertaining version of Know Your Meme/LIMC. Btw I live in India and much love from the subcontinent ❤

Sumito will leave when Mr. Beast does. "Neither can quite KZbin while the other survives."

Sumiomedia is my favorite KZbin channel. I check every week for a new upload. Imagine my shock when I saw today that I wasn't subscribed. I was sure I had subscribed at least a year ago.

Good work for staying in the grind - you definitely deserve a higher sub count for the quality and production value of your content.

[@SebastianSkadisson]

I think they might believe its gonna be a very rough year and it will be more benefitial for their companies (those creators named are all basically CEOs of a media company) if they stepped into the background and did additional stuff while their gang continues the main grind. So yeah, i agree with your statements that almost all of them don't really quit from KZbin entirely, and i think that's by design to have a side-hustle they themselves helm so it is efficient and allows them to move in two areas at the same time. Smart.
